 For the serving of static/dynamic content I decided that also for serving apache wasn't good enough, I looked over webrick and was not stable enough, I looked over python-wisted and it wasn't fast enough and so I found [[http://yaws.hyber.org/|YAWS (Yet Another Web Server)]] written in erlang designed for performance and scalability over multiple servers.

  I need to have the vastest gamma of databases, I want to be able to store certain data to certain databases and I want to be able to do certain query over different databases.

Breaking the LAMP loop, alternative web serving methods

Lately I decided to look elsewhere than the usual "linux apache mysql php". Reading on docs makes me draw something like apache or ngingx as a load balancer front-end, the same as the backend adding lighttpd for fast streaming ofdata. This leave me more confused than before:

  • apache or ngingx? old but solid or new with an ongoing development? wich for load and wich for serving?
    • My head started to wirl and I thought myself using a beast like apache to do load balancing was a bit like killing a fly with a nuke, so for I looked elsewhere for a solution and apt-cache search came to the rescue:

      Pound

      The config file is one placed in /etc/pound/pound.conf, is very simple and straight forward.

      Pound Reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers

      For the serving of static/dynamic content I decided that also for serving apache wasn't good enough, I looked over webrick and was not stable enough, I looked over python-wisted and it wasn't fast enough and so I found YAWS (Yet Another Web Server) written in erlang designed for performance and scalability over multiple servers.

      Yet Another Web Server(in erlang)

  • database: mysql?postgres?sqlite?ORACLE!??
    • I need to have the vastest gamma of databases, I want to be able to store certain data to certain databases and I want to be able to do certain query over different databases.

      For this to work there is a huge amount of changes to be done in software but yet so far there is SQLAlchemy and DBSlayer. I will investigate databases soon enough.
